Clement Broutin
Clément-Jules Broutin (born May 4, 1851 in Orchies , † May 27, 1889 ) was a French composer .
Broutin studied from 1871 at the Conservatory of Lyon with Victor Delannoy before he entered the Conservatoire de Paris . Here he was a student of Émile Durand (harmony), César Franck (organ) and Victor Massé (composition). After an honorable mention in 1877, he won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1878 with the three-part scene La fille de Jephté based on a text by Édouard Guinant .
During the stay at the Villa Medici in Rome associated with the award , Broutin composed Sinai , a work for orchestra, choir and soloists, which was premiered in 1881 in the hall of the Conservatoire de Paris. The work was received coolly by the audience, but praised by the critics for the excellent quality of the composition, the exquisite taste and great intelligence.
In the following years he composed a number of songs and piano pieces, several orchestral pieces and an opera. Most of his works have been published by Lemoine . A street was named after him in his hometown.
